A sociology student and his two friends set out one day to explore an uncharted area said to be home to a colony consisting entirely of women. Dealing with the powerful themes of consent, consumerism and colonialism, Herland is a thought-provoking tale that trains a lens on our own concepts of society.

Van Jennings, a sociology student, and his two friends, Terry Nicholson and Jeff Margrave, set out one day to explore an uncharted area said to be home to a colony consisting entirely of women. Their biplane suitably hidden in the surrounding forest, the men begin their search for civilisation. But it is not long before they are discovered, and they are captured and taken in by the society they set out to study.

As boundaries are broken down and the web of mystery is brushed aside, the men soon begin to realise that there is much to be envied about this society, and perhaps it is they that have some reckoning to do. Dealing with the powerful themes of consent, consumerism and colonialism, Herland is a thought-provoking tale that trains a lens on our own concepts of society.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935) was an American writer and lecturer known for her humanist and feminist writing. She is best known today for her seminal short story The Yellow Wallpaper, a blistering indictment of the rest cure, which is one of the most important American feminist titles of all time.
